Interesting story, although I don't know much about poker. I was still engaged, especially after the author joined the poker game. Suggestion: Most writing forms use James's for the possessive. I like the closing sentence of the story. Good job on your first attempt at fiction! Blessings. Carol

Hey Carol, I am not sure I understand the part about James. Whenever I used Jame's belongings, I used it that way. Or are you talking about whenever I used his name? I am more of a poet but have done a lot of prose lately and loving it, so if I am doing something wrong, I love my prose writers to tell me so. So thank you, but just trying to understand. And I too don't know much about poker but promised someone I would try my hand in fiction for this one. Love learning something new everyday. I am like you where Jesus is mostly where my heart is so this is kinda out of character for me.
So if you could just help me with the Jame's thing I would appreciate it.

If "James" owns something, then James's things belong to him. For example, James's car. Keep the S in his name, and add apostrophe S to show ownership. Possessives are always tricky when the owner's name ends in an S. If this doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try again.

'LOL no I think l got it but its been since college days and I do poetry mostly so a lil embarrassed that I didn't get it. Thanks so much Carol. You're the best!

Hey, don't be embarrassed. We all get tripped up at points. That's an especially confusing one.

Well, Miss Debi, this was awesome for your first attempt at fiction. I was so rooting for Seth. We all know a James. We all hope we have front row seats for his comeuppance. What I liked about this was it was believable. It wasn't written like fiction. It was written with realistic dialogue and description. My favorite kind of writing. Great job. Gretchen

Comment from Terry Broxson
Well dang, who knew you could write fiction? And very good fiction at that. I was happily carried along with the story and couldn't wait to get to the end. I must admit I did think the damsel was going to be the one who did the rescuing. Nicely done, and thank you for entering the contest. Terry.

Hi Terry and finally I have to give in and say goodbye to this awesome review. It meant the world to me and I know you knew that so I can say one more giant Texas size thank you an I hope you know how much it all means.
Thank you so very much!!!
I did read your email and haven't had a chance to respond yet but I think it is a wonderful idea and I can't wait to see the venue, Zoe's garden again, etc.
I will be in touch after I catch up more and have a chance to do so while relaxing.
Comment from Sally Law
Oh my, you had me clutching my cards! This is quite the true story at the high-stakes poker game. I can hardly tolerate know-it-alls especially when they don't know. A wonderful contender in this contest, Debi dear.
Sorry you lost, but I'm sure you added to the dynamics of the game.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the upcoming contest.

Haha Helen, I had messed up some parts from laying in my bed, so just came back from fixing notes to say this was my first fiction post. Otherwise they had are been non-fiction. Guess I can bluff better than I thought. LOL
Thank you so much for this awesome review, comments and generous helping of stars! So appreciated, my Sweet Friend!

Ha, ha, ha that was a smart move. When you think you are the king of the jungle, there might be somebody smarter than you that can outsmart your arrogance. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

It all boils down to trust. Do you know this person well enough to assume they know what they are doing. Do you trust yourself enough to think or accept that they may be smarter than you at first believed. Will you be upset to find that you were perhaps wrong to think less of them than what you should have.

Hey Nomi, this was my very first attempt at fiction. Most of my prose are biographical nonfiction. So don't believe a word of it! Lol
Thanks for the nice comments my dear brother.
